BeStitched is fighting winter weather blues with flowers! This is a John Johannsen piece turned into needlepoint canvas by Melissa Shirley. BeStitched is doing a class on it. See all the pretty beads and silk ribbons? sigh....

They also are fighting winter with this Kirk and Hamilton Spring House. Jane says the magic words, "There is a stitch guide."

Speaking of silk ribbons, the River Silks blog has posted links to a tutorial on making silk ribbon butterflies and dragonflies. They'd look pretty cute circling the John Johanssen bouquet, wouldn't they?
